Dodge Ball
Manny being Manny just took itself to an entirely different level. Stop smiling Red Sox fans, because this can and will taint the stuff he did while you were cheering for him hitting ball after ball off of and over the monster. Stop shaking your heads, yes it does. If Alex Rodriguez gets dragged through the mud, so does your former beloved “idiot” Manny. How far does it go back? Yes I know he said he passed 15 drug tests, but he failed this one. If it opens the floodgates for everyone else, it opens the floodgates for him. Last time I checked, A-Rod just admitted it and is trying to better himself and get his career back on track.
Please stop, by the way, with the smoke screen of the test being because of a prescription handed out by a doctor. So basically what you’re telling me is, you are going to ingest something into your system which your doctor should tell you could show up on a drug test. If in fact it was a doctor he or she did go to school for what, 10 years? You’re going to sit there with a straight face and tell me you didn’t know it may show up on a test? Yet you don’t tell your team, or Major League baseball, that you’re having a personal issue and you were prescribed “X” and if you get tested it may show up on said test? I don’t care if you have the common cold, or swine flu, if you get a prescription from a doctor, in this culture we’re in, you have to bring it up and ask if its going to show up on a test.
It makes me want to throw up as a baseball fan. In fact, I think I just did throw up a little bit in my mouth. Could we just get mandatory drug testing in baseball please? Every week…every player…the whole season…Players union? Anyone? Bueller?
They will never agree to that. So guess what fans? We will never have an end to this. Where are my antacids?
Off The Wall with Chris Shearn 
You’re right, I’m afraid we will never have an end to this. But even if we did, how smug must d-bags like Palmiero, McGwire, Bonds, etc be right now knowing that they got treated like kings and made millions they weren’t entitled to b/c they got away with it???
Well, I guess its safe to assume manny was indeed on that list of 103. I’m happy for Alex because he shouldn’t have to be the only one going throught this if there are 102 others. Chris, what do you think the chances of Albert Pujols being one? I hope he is clean because he is amazing.
Eat Crow, Red Sox fans! In your face! I love it!
Another great blog Chris. Why would Manny do this after seeing what A-Rod has had to go through? Oh well…I continue to wish A-Rod the best of luck in getting his life back together. So far he is on track. Maybe Manny can do the same.

He did it and he has to move on. It happened. Get over it.

You are right on about Manny. He is a disgrace to the game.
He didn’t even have the guts to go to Torre and tell him. He left the game early and never said a word to anyone.
He would never be on my team…..
